Eliminate Paper. Save Time and Money.
The fiscal basis for E-Invoicing is now in place thanks to the Swiss Finance Department's decree concerning electronically transmitted data and information. Invoices that are VAT-compliant can now be issued and processed electronically. The paper copy is redundant.
E-Invoicing is equally attractive for those who issue and those who receive invoices: Compared to conventional invoicing, a number of manual steps are done away with, ranging from the sending out and scanning of invoices to archiving. The electronic process is also completely reliable and error-free, and it allows you to achieve sustainable savings in terms of process costs.
Swisscom IT Services offers E-Invoicing across all industries; the Conextrade Trading Center serves as a central interface. Participation is simple and cost-effective - for small and medium-size companies and large firms alike.

How Does E-Invoicing Work?
Via the Conextrade Trading Center, all invoices are immediately delivered to customers electronically and with a digital signature. The cost and effort are minimal for both parties involved: Both the invoice issuer and the receiver define the content of the documents just once at the beginning of their cooperation. After that, all invoices are automatically produced in the defined format.

E-Invoicing for Invoice Issuers
The invoice issuer sends the invoice data to the Trading Center. There, the data is converted into the receiver's format and supplemented with the information required for the submission, archiving and revision of the invoice. The Trading Center takes care of the digital signature. Archived data can be received either via web download or the automatic delivery interface.
The various ways to connect to the Trading Center are described in the following factsheet.

E-Invoicing for Invoice Recipients
There is also an automated, electronic invoice process for invoice recipients, covering everything from invoice receipt to cost-effective archiving. As soon as the signed invoices are received, the latter are processed the way specified, either automatically (by comparing it to the order) or via workflow. Thanks to the electronic signature, all invoices can be electronically archived in accordance with the Company Accounts Decree (GeBüV).
